5/1

Forecasts

Hat Toss (6/4), Red Treasure (9/2), Wilde And Dandy (5/1), Vecchio (6/1), Concert Boy (7/1), Ararat (17/2), Marinara (12/1), Bishop's Crown (20/1), Dagmar Run (33/1), Baccarat Baby (50/1)

A few with chances but WILDE AND DANDY looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty for his recent stylish Doncaster success and is fancied to go in again. Red Treasure resumed better than ever when scoring at Yarmouth and is next on the list, with Concert Boy and Marinara both in the picture too.
